The Bank’s financial results are prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The Bank refers to results prepared in accordance with GAAP as “reported” results. The Bank also utilizes non-GAAP financial measures referred to as “adjusted” results to assess each of its businesses and to measure overall Bank performance. To arrive at adjusted results, the Bank removes “items of note”, net of income taxes, from reported results. The items of note relate to items which management does not believe are indicative of underlying business performance. The Bank believes that adjusted results provide the reader with a better understanding of how management views the Bank’s performance. As explained, adjusted results are different from reported results determined in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted results, items of note, and related terms used herein are not defined terms under GAAP, and, therefore, may not be comparable to similar terms used by other issuers. Please see the “How we Performed - How the Bank Reports” section of the Bank’s Q2, 2010 MD&A for a reconciliation between the Bank’s reported and adjusted results.
